Missing calls because your Xiaomi 15 Ultra barely rings can be frustrating. You may think the volume is already at max, yet the ringtone still sounds weak or muffled. This problem is usually caused by system settings, sound profiles, or features designed to reduce noise, and most of them are easy to fix.
Why Your Xiaomi 15 Ultra Ringtone Volume Is Too Low
- Ringtone volume is set low or linked to media volume.
- Silent or Do Not Disturb mode is enabled.
- Sound effects or audio enhancements are interfering with volume output.
- The ringtone itself is quiet or poorly optimized.
- System features are reducing volume during calls or notifications.
1. Increase the Ringtone Volume Properly
Raising the media volume does not always increase ringtone loudness. Xiaomi separates ringtone volume from other sound controls, so adjusting the correct slider is essential.
Open Settings, and then tap Sound and vibration.
Tap Ringtone volume, and then drag the slider all the way to the right.
2. Turn Off Silent and Do Not Disturb Modes
Silent mode and Do Not Disturb can lower or completely mute ringtone sounds. Even if you do not remember enabling them, they can activate automatically through schedules.
Open Settings, and then tap Sound and vibration.
Tap Do Not Disturb, and then turn it off.
3. Disable Volume Limiting Features
Some Xiaomi phones use smart volume features that reduce sound to protect your hearing. These can unintentionally lower ringtone output.
Open Settings, and then tap Sound and vibration.
Tap Additional sound settings, and then disable any volume limiting or smart volume options.
4. Change the Ringtone Sound
Not all ringtones are created equal. Some tones are naturally quiet, even at full volume, which makes incoming calls easy to miss.
Open Settings, and then tap Sound and vibration.
Tap Ringtone, and then select a louder default tone or download a new one.
5. Check App-Specific Sound Controls
Certain apps and system tools can override ringtone behavior. If call-related services limit sound, your phone may not ring loudly.
Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
Tap Manage apps, and then review any phone or call-related apps for sound restrictions.
6. Restart the Phone
Temporary audio glitches can affect ringtone volume. Restarting refreshes the sound system and clears minor bugs.
Swipe down from the top of the screen to open Quick Settings.
Tap the Power icon, and then tap Restart.
Once your ringtone volume is properly configured, your Xiaomi 15 Ultra should ring clearly and loudly again. These fixes usually resolve the issue without needing advanced resets or repairs.
FAQs
Why is my ringtone quieter than notification sounds?
Ringtone and notification volumes are controlled separately. If the ringtone slider is lower, calls will sound quieter even if notifications are loud.
Does using Bluetooth affect ringtone volume?
Yes. If your phone was recently connected to Bluetooth earbuds or a car system, the ringtone volume may stay low. Disconnecting Bluetooth often restores normal sound.
Can a software update reduce ringtone volume?
Yes. Updates can reset sound profiles or enable new audio features. Checking sound settings after updates helps prevent low ringtone issues.
